   Dolores  Anne  Stinson  Archer  passed  from  this  earth early Friday

   Dolores  was  born  to Elmer and Maxine Byford Stinson on November 25,
   1930  in Hammon. She had one brother, Neil, and one sister, Billye Sue
   who  died  at birth. She graduated from Hammon High School in 1948 and
   attended  OSU  in  Stillwater  for  three years. Dolores later married
   Jodie  Emory  Archer  on March 6, 1954 in Sentinel, Oklahoma. Together
   they  had  three  children: one daughter, Brenda, and twin sons: Kerry
   and Terry.
   Dolores  worked  many  years  as  a bookkeeper at the Hammon Coop, but
   finally  had  to  give it up after suffering several strokes at a very
   young  age.  From  that time forward she spent most of her time in the
   home,  either  taking  care  of her kids or trying to recover from her
   lengthy illnesses.
   Dolores  loved  to read, embroidery, and garden when she was able. She
   also  loved  her  children, grandchildren, and friends to the fullest.
   She  was  extremely proud of her family and was thrilled when her farm
   was  recognized  as  an  Oklahoma  Centennial  Farm in 1998. She was a
   lifetime member of the Hammon Church of Christ.
   Dolores  was  preceded  in  death by her parents, sister, brother, and
   husband of 38 years.
   Dolores  is survived by a host of loved ones and friends. They include
   her daughter, Brenda of the home and sons, Kerry and his wife Karen of
   Hammon, and Terry and his wife Anita of Elk City. Three grandchildren,
   Zachary  Archer  of  Bella Vista, Arkansas, Loralee Richardson and her
   husband  Barret  of  Freedom,  and  Nicholas  Archer  of Elk City. One
   sister-in-law,  Joy  Stinson  of  Tulsa, and one niece, Alice Brown of
   Sand  Springs  and  a  great niece, K.C. Courtney of Sand Aprings. She
   also  leaves behind her best friend of over 40 years, Shirley Bohl and
   her  husband Jack of Tipton, and her longtime caregiver, Debra Ivey of
   Hammon.
